Discover available plugins

Installation

From the Claude Code Plugin Marketplace

1. Add the marketplace:

   /plugin marketplace add openshift-eng/ai-helpers
   

2. Install a plugin:

   /plugin install jira@ai-helpers
   

3. Use the commands:

   /jira:solve OCPBUGS-12345 origin
   

Updating Plugins

To get the latest plugin versions:

1. Update the marketplace (fetches latest plugin catalog):

   /plugin marketplace update ai-helpers
   

2. Reinstall the plugin (downloads new version):

   /plugin install <plugin>@ai-helpers
   

Automatic Catalog Sync

Add a SessionStart hook to automatically sync the marketplace catalog on each session. In your project's .claude/settings.json:

{
  "hooks": {
    "SessionStart": [
      {
        "command": "claude plugin marketplace update ai-helpers",
        "timeout": 30000
      }
    ]
  }
}

Note: This only refreshes the catalog (what's available). To actually update an installed plugin to a newer version, you still need to reinstall it with /plugin install <plugin>@ai-helpers.

Using Cursor

Cursor is able to find the various commands defined in this repo by making it available inside your ~/.cursor/commands directory.

$ mkdir -p ~/.cursor/commands
$ git clone [email protected]:openshift-eng/ai-helpers.git
$ ln -s ai-helpers ~/.cursor/commands/ai-helpers

Using the Docker Container

A container is available with Claude Code and all plugins pre-installed.

Building the Container

podman build -f images/Dockerfile -t ai-helpers .

Running with Vertex AI and gcloud Authentication

To use Claude Code with Google Cloud's Vertex AI, you need to pass through your gcloud credentials and set the required environment variables:

podman run -it \
  -e CLAUDE_CODE_USE_VERTEX=1 \
  -e CLOUD_ML_REGION=your-ml-region \
  -e ANTHROPIC_VERTEX_PROJECT_ID=your-project-id \
  -v ~/.config/gcloud:/home/claude/.config/gcloud:ro \
  -v $(pwd):/workspace \
  -w /workspace \
  ai-helpers

Environment Variables:

• CLAUDE_CODE_USE_VERTEX=1 - Enable Vertex AI integration
• CLOUD_ML_REGION - Your GCP region (e.g., us-east5)
• ANTHROPIC_VERTEX_PROJECT_ID - Your GCP project ID

Volume Mounts:

• -v ~/.config/gcloud:/home/claude/.config/gcloud:ro - Passes through your gcloud authentication (read-only)
• -v $(pwd):/workspace - Mounts your current directory into the container

Running Commands Non-Interactively

You can execute Claude Code commands directly without entering an interactive session using the -p or --print flag:

podman run -it \
  -e CLAUDE_CODE_USE_VERTEX=1 \
  -e CLOUD_ML_REGION=your-ml-region \
  -e ANTHROPIC_VERTEX_PROJECT_ID=your-project-id \
  -v ~/.config/gcloud:/home/claude/.config/gcloud:ro \
  -v $(pwd):/workspace \
  -w /workspace \
  ai-helpers \
  --print "/hello-world:echo Hello from Claude Code!"

This will:

1. Start the container with your gcloud credentials
2. Execute the /hello-world:echo command with the provided message
3. Print the response and exit when complete

Available Plugins

For a complete list of all available plugins and commands, see the AI Helpers Marketplace.

Plugin Development

Want to contribute or create your own plugins? Check out the plugins/ directory for examples. Make sure your commands and agents follow the conventions for the Sections structure presented in the hello-world reference implementation plugin (see hello-world:echo for an example).

Ethical Guidelines

Plugins, commands, skills, and hooks must NEVER reference real people by name, even as stylistic examples (e.g., "in the style of ").

Ethical rationale:

1. Consent: Individuals have not consented to have their identity or persona used in AI-generated content
2. Misrepresentation: AI cannot accurately replicate a person's unique voice, style, or intent
3. Intellectual Property: A person's distinctive style may be protected
4. Dignity: Using someone's identity without permission diminishes their autonomy

Instead, describe specific qualities explicitly

Good examples:

• "Write commit messages that are direct, technically precise, and focused on the rationale behind changes"
• "Explain using clear analogies, a sense of wonder, and accessible language for non-experts"
• "Code review comments that are encouraging, constructive, and focus on collaborative improvement"

When you identify a desirable characteristic (clarity, brevity, formality, humor, etc.), describe it explicitly rather than using a person as proxy.
